Overview
- Learner goals and capabilities
-
The Practicum is the “capstone” of the Health Services Management (HSM) and the Health Information Management (HIM) programs at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University. It is for credit and unpaid.
During Practicum, students are provided the opportunity to apply management theory and concepts in a working environment. Specifically, they conduct a project that addresses a management issue experienced by your healthcare organization, within the context of their understanding of organizational systems.
Practicum placement occurs between 4 and 6 months prior to the actual seminar, when students are actually on site working on their project, (July to September for the winter course, March to May for the fall course).
Over the course of the Practicum semester, students spend a pre-arranged number of hours per week (minimum 42 hours total over the semester) at your healthcare organization.
- Expected outcomes and deliverables
-
From identifying a management issue experienced by your healthcare organization, students will create one of the following:
a) A research report (including evaluations), or
b) A new product and process report
Project Examples
Students will :
- Analyze a managerial issue in a health services organization and design a course of investigation that will lead to an evidence-based and results-oriented outcome
- Differentiate between opinion and reasoned argument in addressing the dimensions of an issue
- Organize and express their own thoughts pertaining to issues clearly and coherently, both orally (presentation) and in writing in the form of a Research Report, or a Process Report and the Product of the process. Examples of Products include educational/information booklet (Smoking Cessation Teaching poster or Living in Long-Term Care: A Guide), an evaluation tool, and an e-Learning module
Additional company criteria
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
For students who will be doing their practicum on-site at the organization, an "Affiliation Agreement" must be signed between the organization and Ryerson University.
Be available for a quick phone call with the course instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
Provide a dedicated contact (preceptor) who will act as a guide and a resource to the student. The preceptor is also expected to be available to the student during the time that they are on site.
